■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
●The shift position is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set when the vehicle speed is approximately
30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed is set while driving at below approxi-
mately 30 km/h [20 mph], the set speed will be set to approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while follow-up cruising
●Pushing the lever up while the vehicle ahead stops will resume follow-up
cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off within approximately 3 seconds after
the lever is pushed up.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 seconds after your vehicle stops, fol-
low-up cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRC system is turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●When the brake control or output restriction control of a driving support sys-
tem operates. (For example: Pre-Collision System, Drive-Start Control)

■ Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer.
■ Obstacle detection in side areas
● Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
● Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after driving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
● When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected even after it
has left the side sensor detection area.
■ If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on the multi-information
display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ice. In such cases, if it is
removed from the sensor, the system should return to normal.
Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low temperatures, a malfunction dis-
play may appear or an obstacle may not be detected. If the sensor thaws out,
the system should return to normal.
■ If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play
Depending on the malfunction of the sensor, the device may not be working
normally. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Parking Support Brake function while the Simple Intelligent Parking
Assist System is operating
While the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating, if the system
detects an obstacle that could result in a collision, hybrid system output
restriction control and brake control of the Parking Support Brake function are
operated, regardless of whether the Parking Support Brake function is on or
off. (P. 396)
●After the Parking Support Brake function operates, operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System is temporarily stopped, and operation of
the Parking Support Brake function is indicated on the multi-information dis-
play. (P. 400)
●When operation of the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is stopped 3
times by operation of the Parking Support Brake function, the Simple Intelli-
gent Parking Assist System is canceled.
●Once the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System becomes available after
the Parking Support Brake function is operated, a message prompting you
to shift is displayed on the multi-information display. Operation of the Simple
Intelligent Parking Assist System can be resumed by shifting according to
the prompt on the multi-information display and pressing the S-IPA switch
(P. 408) again.
■Shifting while the Simple Intelligent Parking Assist System is operating
If the system determines that the driver intends to move forward or in reverse,
assistance continues even if the driver shifted before being prompted to do so
by the system. However, because driver operation differs from the guidance
provided by the system, the number of turning maneuvers may increase.
■Customization
Settings (e.g. obstacle detection range) can be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P. 670)

■Function summary
If a parking space can be detected, you will be guided forward until
you reach the assist control starting position, and then the parallel
parking assist mode can be used. Furthermore, depending on the
parking space and other conditions, multi-turn maneuvering assist
control is also provided if necessary.
Continue moving forward
with the vehicle parallel to
the curb or road, and stop so
that the center of the target
parking spot appears nearly
perpendicular to the vehicle.
Then press the S-IPA switch
1 time to select the parallel
parking assist mode.
Travel straight ahead paral-
lel with the road or curb so
that the parking space is
detected.
A sound is issued and a display is shown to notify you when the
vehicle reaches a position where assist control can be used to
begin backing up from, and then when the shift position is
changed according to guidance provided by the system, steering
wheel auto operation begins.
If the detected parking space or road width (distance to the side of the
road across from the parking space) is narrow, or if there are obstacles
in front of the vehicle, guidance will not be issued.
Parking is complete
This completes the assist mode. Depending on the condition of the
parking space, guidance to starting points for moving forward and back-
ing up, as well as the steering wheel auto operation, are repeated any
time multi-turn maneuvering is necessary following step from the
time the vehicle begins backing up until parking completes.
